Gina Buonaguro's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

Gina Buonaguro

I am a writer who has coauthored six novels, written dozens of articles, won three writing grants, and edited/proofread for multiple clients. Born in New Jersey, USA, I currently reside in Toronto, Canada where I am working on a novel, set in Renaissance Venice. My interests include Italy, the Renaissance, the artist Raphael, maps, geography, travel, American, British, Canadian, and Ancient history, reading historical fiction, and bingewatching historical series. I’m the kind of person who stops to read every roadside plaque and sign.
